Why Bihar is suitable for Sugar Industry

The Northern Bihar is climatically apt to produce sugarcane. The inputs used are comparatively lesser than that of other states. Obsolete equipment and inadequate skills are the two factors which are driving towards the closing down of many sugar mills in Bihar. Modernized plants and equipments should be used and personnel should be retained in proper manner. If the sugarcane and the sugar industry of Bihar is revived, then it shall definitely generate both wealth and employment for the state. The potential of the industry is huge.
